Adventures and information on the Spanish Pyrenees

Ibon de Piedrafita is in a beautiful spot under the cliffs of the Sierra de Partacua and yesterday I headed up there with Berute - a friend from the village. In summer this is a really popular walk with guests on our walking holidays but I'd never seen it completly...
